If you really want to learn ASP, is there some general questions there often are used: What is ASP? How does it works?<br/><br/>That's exactly those questions we'll take a look at in this lesson. It's very important that we understand the basic stuff about ASP, before we start with the actual coding.<br/><br/><b>What is ASP?</b><br/>As we just discovered means ASP Active Server Pages. We could also call it something like dynamic server documents.<br/><br/>ASP was developed by Microsoft and still is. ASP is actually not a standard, but more like a Microsoft technology. Also is it not a codinglanguage - but we can use a kind of scripting in our documents.<br/><br/>We could also say that ASP is a file, with a transmission .asp, that contains a combination of some HTML codes and scripts, there are settles by the webserver. <br/><br/><b>How does it works?</b><br/>We could explain it by compare it with some regular HTML. Try to imagine you write http://www.mysite.com/document.htm - that's what we call to request a HTML site. But if we then write http://www.mysite.com/document.asp (and then requesting a ASP document) will the server get a much bigger work to do.<br/><br/>In other words, that the server first read the ASP document through, to see if there a some work to do. First when the server had done what it takes, will the result be sent to the client. It's important to now that the client only sees the result and not the instructions.<br/><br/>That means if you chose view source, would you not see the ASP coding, but just regular HTML coding. You are not allowed to see how a ASP site is make, you have to learn it in other ways (like in a tutorial).<br/><br/>All right the first we need is a server. But that means that you DONT have to buy a new computer. You just need some software on you computer, which enables you to work like a server. You could also use a webhotel, were the server supports ASP.

When I try doing it, shows a message with red text up "pages_html" and nothing else. No page will show up.

Well, when I've wrote my code (and in this case it is the two above mentioned codes) then I wish to press submit, so my page got saved and it goes official. But when I'm doing that shows a page up with a red text standing "pages_html" and nothing else. After that isn't my page saved.

But it's only with the two above codes it do stuff like that. I've created plenty of pages without things like that happened.

EDIT: One of the paged worked, but I can't still do anything with the other source.

I see i see: i deleted the last part of the first code and it worked .
